Qualification of the Farley PORVs, License Condition 2.C.(21)(d)(1), was documented in Alabama Power Company letters dated June 25, 1981, September 30, 1981 and July 1, 1982.
(3)
License Condition 2.C.(9)(a) was completed prior to exceeding 5 percent power.
Alabama Power Company's letter of July 8,1982 described compliance with License Condition 2.C.(9)(b) and License Condition 2.C.(12)(c).
These license conditions constitute Alabama Power Company's commitments related to natural circulation cooldown tests and procedures.
Alabama Power Company has independently evaluated the applicable requirements of Table 1 in Branch Technical Position RSB 5-1, Rev. 1, and determined that Farley Unit 2 complies without need of modification or additional provisions.
This conclusion agrees with the NRC findings published in Supplement No. 5 to NUREG-0117; therefore, based on completion of the three conditions described above, License Condition 2.C.(12)(b) has been met and is considered complete by Alabama Power Company.
